March is Women’s History Month.
Every year since 1995, presidents have issued a proclamation designating March as Women’s History Month. But before it was Women’s History Month, it was Women’s History Week, and before that it was only a day. Click here to learn about 20 Black Women who made history.
Black Women Who Changed the World**
Marian Croak (1955–) With more than 200 patents to her name, Croak invented improvements for online voice and data systems and paved the way for videoconferencing. Her technologies allowed donations by text after Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and enabled text-based voting for the popular TV show American Idol.
Marie Van Brittan Brown (1922–1999) Concerned about crime in 1960s New York City, Brown, a nurse, designed a front-door security system, complete with camera, speakers and alarm. Her invention, patented in 1969, paved the way for similar security systems used today.
Bessie Blount (1914–2009) While working as physical therapist, Blount invented devices to help amputees and other wounded soldiers returning from World War II so that they could eat on their own. Though her inventions would help many, she struggled to find support for her ideas and had to go on a TV show to demonstrate her inventions, according to the Lemelson-MIT Program, which awards prizes to inventors.
